BASF’s John Shoemaker to present on streamlining repair processes at CCA Chapter Meeting

BASF’s John Shoemaker, Business Development Manager for BASF Automotive Refinish Coatings, will present on “Practical Production Processes” at the Carolinas Collision Association (CCA) Chapter Meeting on February 20 in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Shoemaker plans to illustrate how to properly analyze a damage appraisal, identify all necessary repair operations and put them into a practical production process. Through this streamlining process, attendees will learn how to schedule technicians, shop equipment and sublet operations to eliminate vehicle repair downtime and associated chaos. With the ability to control the repair process, shops can benefit by experiencing shorter cycle times, higher touch times and better customer satisfaction.

CCA is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to safe and correct collision repairs, supporting independent collision repair professionals in North and South Carolina. The CCA Chapter Meeting will take place on February 20, 2020, beginning at 6 p.m. Admission is free of charge for members and non-members of the association, but a RSVP is required to attend.
